Lin, a 6 foot, 3, 200-pound point guard, has taken the sport by storm, overshadowing his All-Star teammates Carmelo Anthony and Amare' Stoudemire by leading the team to its best stretch all year without their help.

Lin, who hails from Palo Alto, Calif., was a star in college, when he led Harvard University to its all-time best basketball season in 2009 before graduating and going undrafted in 2010. He proved himself in the NBA summer league, dominating John Wall in one particularly impressive game, and was then signed by the Golden State Warriors.

He played last year with the Warriors, but during this season's NBA lockout, he ended up without a team. He went to the Houston Rockets for a short while, but was picked up by the Knicks in December.

And in the past couple of weeks he's become a superstar. He scored a career-high 38 points against the Los Angeles Lakers at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 11. And he has racked up a number of big wins over his first three weeks of playing.

The Knicks trounced the Atlanta Hawks last night at MSG, and they are looking to follow it up with a win over James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and the rest of the elite Miami Heat. Don't be surprised if they do just that.
